The manufacturing heart and the sales journey, side by side. Click any stage to walk through exactly what happens at that step.
The manufacturing heart
Machining & Press
Turned and milled parts, stampings, die-castings and forgings run against per-part routings, with standard times, first-piece approval and tool-life tracking.
Stage 1 of 5Per-part routings
Standard times set for every operation.
First-piece approval
Sign-off before the batch runs.
Tool / die life & OEE
Downtime captured live for OEE.
Surface treatment
Heat-treatment, plating, phosphating, e-coating and painting, in-house or job-worked, are tracked and checked before parts feed assembly.
Stage 2 of 5Process parameters
Bath, temp and time to spec.
Job-work challan
ITC-04 tracked for outsourced work.
Coating inspection
Thickness and adhesion checked.
Assembly
Sub-assembly, fastening to torque spec, poka-yoke checks and marking. The part's lot / serial identity is born here.
